NJ. Quot Daabes in Popular Science
Monthly for July: The rate of growth
of children varies according to sex.
Thus, at the age of eleven and twelve
Years, boys are larger and heavier than
girls. but from that age on the evolution
of the girls is more rapid, and they sooD
oyertake the boys aud pass them, till
the age OF fifteen years is reached, when
the boys regain the ascendencY, while
the girls remain nearly stationary. A
curious relation has been discovered
betweenstbe growth of children in stature
end in weight. NJ. MallinR-Hansen,
director of the deaf and dumb lnst,tu-
ton at Copenhagen, has for
three years weighed and measured
his pupils daily, and he has
observed that their growth does
not take place regularly and
progressively, but by stages separat-
cd by intervals OF rest
Weight also increases by periods
after intervals of equilibrium. While
the weight is increasing, the stature re-
mains nearly stationary aud vice versa
The maximum of increase of stature cor
responds with q minimum period OF
augmentation of weight. The vital
forces appear to work on both sides at
noe The variations are subject tosthe
influence of the s%Sasons. During the
autumn and early winter, according 10
N. Malling-H Hansen. the child accumu-
lates weight, while stature increases
slowly; but during spring stature re-
celves q veritable push. while weight in
creases bnt little. Some local habits
have al influence on the stature. Stenhai
remarked chat many Roman girls had
deformed vertebral columns, or were o
little humpbacked, and found that it was
the result of a popular belief prevailing
in Rome That parents could promote the
growth of their children by punching
them IN the back,

A clergyman was so unfortunate as to
be caught in severe gale in the voyage
out. The water was exceedingly rough
and the ship persistently buried her nose
in the sea. The rolling was constant, and
at last the good man got thoroughly
frightened He believed they were des-
tined for a watery grave. He asked the
captain if he could not have prayers.
The captain took him by the arm and led
him down to the forecastle where the tars
were singing and swearing. Said he;
There when you hear them swearing
YOU may know there is no danger" He
went back feeling better; but the storm
increased his alarm. Disconsolate and
unassisted he managed to stagger to the
forecastle again. The ancient mariners
were swearing as ever. MARY" he said
to his sympathetic wife, as he crawled
into his berth after tackiDg across a wet
deck, "Mary, thank God, they're swear
ing yet"

MARTINSBURG MATTERS.

From the Statesman;
Mrs. G. H. Bowers was stunned by light
ming on Monday last.
Mr.. VIM. Rutledge, of the Continental
Hotel has sold his pair of fine gray horses
to Mr.. Henry Shepherd of Jefferson county.
The price realized was $500.
As Mr.. John B. Cunningham, of Bun
kcr Hill, was returning home from Martins
burg on Tuesday, his horse became fright
ened when short distance beyond the
"Big Spring" and ran off, threw him out of
his wagon and dislocated his arm.
Mr.. w. T. Stewart made narrow esci pc
from death under the wheels on yesterday
morning. He attempted to board train
while in motion and just as he was about
to jump on his legs struck a switch bar and
his feet were knocked from under him. He
retained his hand hold and was dragged
some distance, being nearly pulled under
the wheels. He finally succeeded in throw
ing himself clear of the moving train and
fell striking his head on the rail of another
track and dislocating his thumb. His legs
were very much bruised, but no bones bro
ken, and he was up town on horseback
within few hours of the accident.

Domestic Felicity.

ooh, how little we foolish women know
what we are booming ourselves to when
We unite ourselves in wedlock," sighed
Mrs. Nagger the other day, when her
husband suggested that little more econ
omy might not be a bad thing. "Here
I've been toiling and shaving all my life,
trying to skimp and save, and here you
are always preaching economy. l could
have married half a dozen rich men, too.
It's my opinion that no man has right
to get married until he has a home to
which to take wife"
"You think he ought to have a home
first, do you?"
"Yes, l do. Before he gets the bird he
ought to have the cage all ready"
WE'LL" snarled Mr.. n. | don't see it
that way"
OF course you don't. Men never do,
They think its only a woman's place to
work her life away for them"
aNo they don't" he snapped out
"That amt where the trouble is. But
before man goes to blowing himself on
cages and things he'll find out whether
he's got canary bird to put into it or a
darned old poll parrot that 'ud chatter
the life out of him if he got her board
and lodging in the apartments Of Queen
Victoria."
